A PhD from the University of Liverpool, he served as a vis¬iting scientist at the High-Voltage Laboratory of the Eind¬hoven University of Technology, Netherlands. He had also given lectures at many high-voltage laboratories in West Germany, Switzerland and France. Professor Naidu was a Chartered Engineer, a Fellow of the Institution Of Engineers (India) and also a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering. His research interests included gaseous insula¬tion, circuit-breaker arcs, pollution under HVDC, etc. He published many research papers and authored Advances in High Voltage Breakdown and Arc Interruption in SF6 and Vacuum (Pergamon Press, 1981). Recently, a book on Gas Insulated Substa¬tions that had been authored by him, was published in 2008. Professor Naidu passed away in February 2002. V Kamaraju obtained his PhD in High-Voltage Engineer¬ing from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He was formerly a Professor and Principal at the JNTU College of Engineering, Kakinada, Andhra Pradesh. He was a visiting professor at Middle East Technical University, Gaziantep, Turkey, during 1981-82. Professor Kamaraju is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers (India). He has published many researchpapers and has been a consultant to various industries and to the Andhra Pradesh State Electricity Board. He has published Electrical Distribution Systems and Linear Systems: Analysis and Applications during 2006–2008 and High Voltage Direct Current Transmission in 2011, all by McGrawHill Education (India). He re¬ceived the Best Teacher award from Government of Andhra Pradesh, India, in 2001. At present, he is Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Mahavir Institute of Science and Technology, Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India. Professor Kamaraju has done extensive research in the areas of liquid and solid dielectrics, composite insulation and partial discharges."
